Well, their shared Classic Monsters universe just got a big shot in the arm as Tom Cruise has officially signed on for the reboot of The Mummy, which has been moved to a release date of June 9, 2017 to accommodate his schedule.

Universal is pulling out all the stops to reboot its new era of monster movies!

Last month, it was reported that the studio was in talks with Tom Cruise to produce and star in a Mummy remake — which would launch an Avengers-style multi-verse and have cross-over capabilities with other monster movies!

And Universal has already been trying to woo another A-list actor to step to take the leading role of Bride of Frankenstein: Angelina Jolie Pitt!

The By The Sea writer-director-star has been rumored to be in talks to star and direct the film about the undead newlywed, and execs are doing all they can to charge up her enthusiasm!

It looks like Brendan Fraser might need that Mummyreboot we heard about so long ago to happen sooner rather than later!

As we've mentioned before, the actor has been struggling to keep up on his alimony and child support payment which total more than $110,000 a month! Well apparently things have gotten so bad that he's been forced to 'plead poverty' in hopes of getting those costs slashed!

According to a source close to Brendan, he hasn't been able to keep up with payments after sustaining a serious back injury while trying to do some repairs on his home in Connecticut:
